No Night Curfew, Stringent Sunday Curbs In Kerala Amid Dip In Positivity

The Kerala Chief Minister said the decision to do away with restrictions was taken in the COVID review meeting as the TPR in the state fell to 17.91 in the first week of September.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday said that it has been decided to forthwith do away with the night curfew and the "stringent intensified" restrictions on Sundays. The move comes as the state on Tuesday reported 25,772 fresh COVID-19 cases. The Chief Minister said the decision to do away with restrictions was taken in the COVID review meeting as the TPR in the state, which was around 18.49 per cent in the last week of August, fell to 17.91 in the first week of September. On Tuesday, the TPR was 15.87 per cent. Mr Vijayan said if people continue to be more vigilant, the number of cases can be brought down.
